To whom 'it may concern:

My device is designed for childrens or invalids chairs, and of that class with which a chamber or vessel is used, and consists in forming with or attaching tothe under and front side of the seat a conduit, or conductor, for the purpose of conducting the ,urine discharged by its occupant into the chamber or vessel below, and by this Figure 4, a chair, with the conduit attached,

b b, holes for screws, or other fastenings.

I construct these conduits of porcelain, metal, metal coated with porcelain, glass, earthenware, or any other suitable material.

I prefer to manufacture the said seat and conduit in one piece, as shown in fig. 1; but if preferred, the conduits can be manufactured separate, as shown in figs. 2, 3, 'and 4, andattached to the under side of the seat by means of screws through the holes b b, or by any other' suitable means.
